The Apache Prisoners.

Lieutenant c. B Gatewood, Sixth Cavalry, A. D. C. to General Miles, was in the city yesterday. He has been over at San Carlos where he went to have a talk with the Indiars whom he informed that the four scouts who had been tried by court martial were to be taken to San Diego. The Indians did not like the idea of their four brethren being sent away, but Lieutenant Gatewood told them they might just as well submit quietly to the sentence, for if they at tempted to create any disturbance they would all be sufferers. They finally con descended to submit quietly, so the pris. oners were shackled and taken from the agency in the presence of the Indians A company of soldiers accompanied then to Wilcox. They passed through on last nights train and will be taken directly to San Diego Barracks in California The other twelve Indians who are stil prisoners will in all probability be turned over to the civil authorities for trial, ant as the evidence against them is brett! strong, some if not all of them are liabl, to have the strength of their necks wei | tested.

The Laundry Man Ha. His Say.

'uThe tailors are ouItbest friends now," said the manager of 8 laundry the other lay. "You see, they used to persist in cutting coats so high that not particle of shirt would be exposed. We went to them and tried to get them to change the styles, but they turned a deaf ear to our entreaties. This year, however, they yielded, and everything is running smoothly"
 "What difference does it make to you whether tailors cut coats high or lowT'
 ssWhy, the greatest in the world. This present style brings us in % per cent. more washing. You see, when shirt fronts were not exposed men didn't have to be as careful of their linen. Nobody could tell whether a shirt was fresh from the laundry or had been worn week. The present style has changed all that, and in order to look at all decent man has to put on fresh shirt every day | or else he will be set down as 8 sloven. You may not believe it, but there were lots of young men who, under the old style of cutting, never wore linen shirts at all. Some of them passed for stylish young men, too. They need tn nin their collars and cuffs on fan | neI shirts and, by using big neckt1e, con- | cealed the deficiency. There was one west side youth who sent all his laundry here, and it was through him that I got onto 1 this scheme. One linen shirt would last him three weeks. don't mean that he wore it all the time; he only put it on | when he wore dress suit the rest of the time it was put away in a drawer. In this way he saved forty or fifty cents a week. I often used to wonder how some of these clerks working for S6 or ST a week could look as presentable. I don't wonder any more, as they have more ex- pedients than criminal lawyer. For in. stance, turn down collars were fashion able last winter. These fellows, of course, all wore them, and in small way they were godsend to them. Whys Simply because they could make them dc double duty. When one side became soiled they would turn the collar wrong
 side out and present the clean part to the
 public gaze. When men resort to such
 schemes as this is it any wonder that they
 can keep up 8 good appearance on small
 salarys It's disgusting, simply disgust
 ing, ay.''-Chicago Herald.
